Great song writer. Very under-rated. Not just on BEA but most everywhere. Give him a chance. You won't regret it!
junodog4I put Elvis Costello on par with the Talking Heads. Both are creative geniuses. Both reigned in the late 70s and early 80s. Both produces an avalanche of quality work. Both are difficult to rank one album over another. Elvis Costello's first half-dozen albums are pop-music masterpieces.
I don't know which E.C. to rate. If you go by a body of work the score diminishes. If you look at his first decade he's easily in the league of greatest. Since? no. So I'll qualify it based on his best, his earliest work. Elvis is King.
sadly overlooked! one day...
btener11One of the 2 or 3 best songwriters and lyricists of all time.
Captain_Dude 08/01/2011 05:33This is the man that, when he worked with Paul McCartney, came the closest to working with John Lennon (according to Paul).
Mr. Shankly 03/08/2010 05:50Finally, Elvis cracks the top 100! He should still be higher though.
RaineyWins 01/26/2010 08:02I adore this man, absoulte quality, underated, one of the greatest musicians of all time
Best album: This Year's Model
Mr. Shankly 07/28/2009 12:49It's ludicrous that Elvis Costello, one of the greatest songwriters in rock history, isn't rated higher, especially given the fact that Oasis is rated so high. Of course, Costello's pop/rock is probably a little too brainy and sophisticated for the average Oasis fanatic.
